On The Road Again: Cannon Beach, Oregon

We spent four days at one of our favorite places last week ~ Ocean Lodge at Cannon Beach, Oregon.

We stayed in Room #112, our favorite ground floor room just a few steps from the beach.

Our intent was to experience the coast during a raging Winter storm, but instead, we had excellent weather.

Oh well!

Is Housing The New 3rd Rail of Politics?

Social Security reform used to be considered the 3^rd rail of politics.

Touch that rail and your campaign was dead if you were running for office.

Now, housing seems to have replaced Social Security as the 3^rd rail of politics.

Why aren’t any of the presidential candidates talking about solutions for our struggling national housing industry?

Do the candidates think the issue is unimportant?

Or, is it because they can’t come up with any solutions?

It should be apparent to everyone by now that low interest rates alone will not propel our housing market back to health.

How about some ideas, guys?
